Alice's Adventures in Wonderland | Salvador Dali
Discovered these lovely images on Brain Pickings this morning. Dali’s illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” (published in 1865) is one of the rarest and most sought-after Dali suites. With the original gouaches published by Maecenas Press-Random House, New York in 1969, the suite now contains 12 heliogravures - one for each chapter of the book - and comes with 1 original signed etching in 4 colors as the frontpiece. My favorites are below, you can see the entire (now digitized) collection on the William Bennett Gallery.
(Here's Alice)
(Down the Rabbit Hole)

made me smile
‘Should You Be Laughing at This?’ is a coming book by Thorarinn Hugleikur Dagsson featuring my favourite kind of humour – the kind with just the right amount of ‘wrong’… The kind of humour you hate to laugh at as it makes you feel like a bad person, but you simply cannot help yourself.
